Definitions
- the present invention relates to connected health devices and a computer implemented method controlling the connected devices and wearable devices. More specifically, the present invention relates to power management of a wearable device or an implantable device that is configured to provide at least one physiological information comprising vital sign information.
- the current purpose of these connected health devices is to transfer treatment duration and date on which the treatment was performed, etc. at a remote server, or to a mobile device of a user.
- the current purpose of the data transfer is merely to maintain a log of treatment.
- the wearable device or implantable device is activated only when required and hence ensures the availability of important physiological information, such as vital signs.
- the vital signs (often shortened to just vitals) are a group of the four to six most important signs, such as body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate, that indicate the status of the body's vital (life-sustaining) functions.
- Physiological information may also include physiological state information, such as stress, which can be derived from the vital signs.
- asthma inhalers oxygen concentrators for COPD patients
- CPAP devices for sleep apnea or pain relieving devices cannot be integrated with a typical, wrist/chest worn devices due to space constraints/form factor and ease of use.
- adaptive selection of vital sign information based on the health device being employed by the user not only helps in power management of the wearable device but also helps in better utilization of the data provided by the health device and the wearable device.
- the treatment/health device and wearable device complement each other to achieve multiple advantages.
- a method for power management of a wearable device or an implantable device includes a plurality of sensors, each sensor configured for providing a corresponding physiological information of a user, each sensor being further configured to be operated in at least two power modes comprising a first power mode and a second power mode, wherein in the first power mode the physiological information of the user is gathered and in the second power mode the sensor consumes less power than in the first power mode.
- the method includes:
- a health device which is configured to treat a health condition of the user is in use, wherein the health device is positioned at a different location with respect to the user than the wearable device or the implantable device, wherein the signal further comprises information about a type of the health device in use;
- the method may be implemented at least in part in software.
- the wearable device typically includes a variety of sensors and hence adaptive selection of the sensors based on the type of the health device in use further helps in power management and availability of right data.
- a computer program product as per claim 8 is provided.
- the computer program product such as random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM), hard disk drives, solid-state drives, USB flash drives, memory cards accessed via a memory card reader, floppy disks accessed via an associated floppy disk drive, optical discs accessed via an optical disc drive, magnetic tapes accessed via an appropriate tape drive, and/or other memory components, or a combination of any two or more of these memory components.
- the RAM may include, for example, static random access memory (SRAM), dynamic random access memory (DRAM), or magnetic random access memory (MRAM) and other such devices.
- the ROM may include, for example, a programmable read-only memory (PROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), and another like memory device.
- the computer program product can also be an application (app), preferable downloadable via network, that can be installed on a computer/a wireless communication device/a portable electronic device.
- a device for power management of a wearable device or an implantable device comprising a plurality of sensors, each sensor configured for providing a corresponding physiological information of a user, each sensor being further configured to be operated in at least two power modes comprising a first power mode and a second power mode, wherein in the first power mode the physiological information of the user is gathered and in the second power mode the sensor consumes less power than in the first power mode, the device includes:
- a receiving module in electronic communication with the processing unit, configured to receive a signal being indicative of whether a health device which is configured to treat a health condition of the user is in use, wherein the signal further comprises information about a type of the health device in use, wherein the health device is positioned at a different location with respect to the user than the wearable device or the implantable device;
- a selecting module in electronic communication with the processing unit, configured to generate and transmit a selecting signal for selecting at least one sensor from the plurality of the sensors of the wearable device based on the type of the health device in use;
- an operating module in electronic communication with the processing unit, configured to transmit an operating signal for (i) operating the selected sensor for a time duration in the first power mode; and (ii) operating the sensor in the second power mode thereafter.
- the time duration is based on one of a first time duration threshold or a measure of effectiveness of the treatment provided by the health device, wherein the measure of effectiveness is evaluated based on the physiological information provided by the selected sensor.
- the first time duration can be pre-programmed/pre-determined, for instance, breathing rate typically subsides within 10 minutes when an asthma relieving device is in use and hence 10 minutes can be set as the first time duration.
- the measure of the effectiveness is calculated by comparing the measured physiological information with a pre-determined effectiveness threshold.
- the pre-determined effectiveness threshold can be based on the type of health device. For instance in case of an inhaler/asthma relieving device, the measured breathing rate will be continuously compared with a pre-determined breathing rate threshold (pre-determined effectiveness threshold) and once the measured breathing rate matches the pre-determined breathing rate threshold, the sensor will be operated in the second power mode.
- pre-determined effectiveness threshold a pre-determined breathing rate threshold
- the duration in which the physiological information reaches (matches) the pre-determined effectiveness threshold is the duration for which the selected sensor is operated in the first power mode.
- the measured physiological information can be evaluated in combination with the duration of usage of the device. For instance, if the measured breathing rate in the first three minutes of use of the health device matches a pre-determined effectiveness threshold then it is indicative that the treatment is effective, thereafter the corresponding sensor can be operated in the second power mode.
- the pre-determined effectiveness threshold can be a range of breathing rate, such as 12-18 breaths per minute within 3 minutes of the usage of the device.
- the method further records the physiological information during the time duration. It is in particular advantageous as physiological information during the treatment is now stored and used for later use. For instance, the caregiver, either remotely or a doctor at a later time, can now understand/interpret the duration and physiological information data. For instance, the pain relieving device operated for 25 minutes, and it was recorded that stress gradually decreased during this time period. This gives clear indication on the effectiveness of the treatment. Also, this can help the caregiver to change the duration of the treatment duration.
- operating the sensor in the second power mode comprises one of (i) deactivating the sensor and (ii) adapting sampling rate of the sensor.
- the signal further comprises information about a time-period of usage of the health device, wherein the method further comprises operating the sensor for the time duration in a first power mode based on the time-period of usage of the health device.
- the sensor of the wearable device can be activated as soon as it is detected that the health device is in use.
- a further power management can be achieved, by switching ON the sensor when the method determines that a usage time-period of the device is more than a time threshold.
- a typical asthma relieving device should relieve the patient of the unpleasant situation in first ten minutes after taking few puffs, such as two to three puffs, however, if the method determines that the asthma relieving device is being used again after the first ten minutes, the method can accordingly trigger the sensor of the wearable device to start measuring the breathing rate for a time duration, such as ten minutes.
- a time duration such as ten minutes.
- an oxygen concentrator for instance works continuously and hence if the oxygen concentrator is used for more than a time threshold of usage, the method then can trigger a corresponding sensor to measure physiological parameter, such has breathing rate, for a time duration, such as 10 minutes.
- the method generates an alert when the time-period of usage of the health device and the gathered physiological information deviates from a pre-defined correlation.
- the method determines that the device is being used already for four minutes and there is no corresponding improvement or the desired improvement observed based on the gathered physiological information, the method alerts the caregiver and/or the user of the health device.
- the alert may further include an advisory message.
- the alerts can be in form of display for the user to contact a doctor or can be direct trigger for the caregiver in form of a display, a text message, etc. Any of the known communication means can be utilized to alert the user/caregiver.
- the device as defined in the claims can be a part of the health device.
- the health device can directly trigger the wearable device.
- the computer implemented method can be performed by an application, popularly termed as an app, installed on a wireless communication device, such as a mobile device.
- the app based on the detected health device can trigger the associated sensor in the wearable device accordingly.

- FIG. 1 shows a method 100 executed by a wireless communication device 200 for managing power of a wearable device 300 .
- An example of the wireless communication device 200 can be a smart phone, such as an iPhone®.
- the method can be in form of an application (app) that can be installed on the device 200 .
- the health device 400 and wearable device 300 can be pre-registered with the app running on the wireless communication device 200 .
- the functionality of the wireless communication device 200 can be replaced by a standalone device that wirelessly communicates with the health device 400 and the wearable device 300 .
- the wearable device 300 can directly interact with the health device 400 or health devices without any intermediary device. It may be appreciated by a skilled person that the processing capabilities will then reside in the health device 400 that will trigger the wearable device 300 .
- the devices 200 , 300 and 400 interact over the wireless network 1500 , such as Internet.
- the health device 400 and the wearable device 300 can interact via a cloud network architecture.
- a health device 400 is an asthma relieving device, also known as an inhaler, herein after referred to as the inhaler 400 .
- the inhaler 400 is typically positioned at the mouth such that the user can actuate by pressing the cartilage 402 containing the medicament, which causes subsequent release of the medicament in the mouth that is further inhaled by the user.
- the device remains in the active state (or in use state) and treats an Asthma attack of the user.
- the wearable device 300 can be a wrist worn device 300 with inbuilt physiological sensors, such as a breathing rate sensor 302 , a heart rate sensor 304 , a SpO 2 sensor (not shown), and the like.
- the method at step 102 receives a signal from the device 400 .
- the signal is indicative of whether a health device 400 which is configured to treat the health condition of the user is in use. In other words, the activation of the inhaler 400 by the user is signaled.
- the signal is received from the device 400 via the device 200 .
- the signal indicates a type of health device. This is particular useful; when the user has multiple health devices.
- the signal will contain the information about type of the device, such as if the device 400 in use is an inhaler, or a pain relieving device, or an oxygen concentrator, or a CPAP device, etc.
- the signal clearly identifies the health device 400 .
- a table (not shown in the figures) containing the unique identifiers identifying each health device can be stored and once the incoming signal containing a unique identifier is received from a health device, a comparison of the received vs stored information can be performed to identify the type of the health device.
- the identified device is the inhaler.
- the signal may optionally further indicate a time-period for which the health device 400 is already in use.
- a sensor is selected, based on the type of identified health device 400 , from the plurality of sensors, such as 302 , 304 , etc.
- a table such as Table 1, can store rules, which indicate which sensor needs to be activated/operated based on the type of the health device 400 .
- the breathing rate sensor 302 corresponding to the inhaler 400 is selected.
- more than one health parameter/physiological parameter can be useful, when inhaler 400 is in use.
- more than one sensor corresponding to the health device 400 can be also be selected as well. For instance, for the inhaler 400 , a heart rate sensor, a breathing rate sensor and a SpO 2 sensor can be selected to provide corresponding physiological information.
- all the sensors that can provide such an information related to inhaler 400 can be activated based on a pre-defined condition, such as all at once, in a series with a time gap, etc.
- a look up table such as table 1 of FIG. 2 is stored in the memory (not shown) of the device 200 . It may be appreciated by a person skilled in the art the selection of the sensor, such as sensor 302 is required when there are multiple sensors are available. It may be the case the wearable device 300 includes only one sensor, such as sensor 302 , and is automatically triggered upon when the device 400 is in use.
- the method then operates the sensor 302 in a first power mode for a time duration.
- the time duration is pre-defined.
- Table 1 indicates a time duration for which the sensor 302 must be operated in the first power mode.
- a breathing rate sensor can be operated for 10 minutes.
- the time can be pre-defined based on the understanding of how much information to gather in order to be useful for interpretation of a health status. This can be as well defined by the user, doctor, caregiver, etc.
- the physiological information is gathered from the sensor 302 while the inhaler 400 is in use. Essentially, the physiological information is gathered synchronously.
- the app to which the health device 400 and the wearable device 300 are connected can synchronize the receiving of the physiological information based on the start of the activation of the health device 400 and transfer of the data from the wearable device 300 .
- an identifier can be used to synchronous receive a second signal from the sensor 302 .
- the health device is activated, it informs the app, which then signals a unique identifier to both devices ( 300 , 400 ) and the data is tagged with the identifier. In this case, identifier and not time is used to link the data.
- the caregiver or the user can later also see the progress/statistics of the treatment during the use of the health device 400 based on the gathered data. Further, since the data gathering was synchronous, the information clearly indicates the information, such as rise/fall of the breathing rate in time during the use of the inhaler 400 . In addition, based on the data gathered, the dosage of the inhaler 400 can be altered.
- the gathered synchronous data can be recorded in the wearable device 300 and later transferred on a remote device, where the analysis can be performed. It may be evident that the analysis can be performed on the wearable device 300 itself.
- the data can be simultaneously be transferred over the network 1500 to the device 200 , where further statistics can be presented to the user via the device 200 .
- FIG. 3 One such statistics is provided in FIG. 3 . As it can be seen, in start of the use of inhaler 400 , the breathing rate was high, i.e. 25 breaths per minute, which later decreased to a normal breathing rate, which is between 12-18 breaths per minute.
- the senor 302 is operated in a second power mode after the time duration has elapsed.
- the sensor 302 is switched OFF after the time duration, i.e. 10 minutes following the above example, has elapsed. It may be appreciated the amount of physiological information that can provide insight on the effectiveness of the treatment is already captured and hence the sensor 302 need not be switched ON anymore.
